Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb beef sirloin or ribeye, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or unsalted butter (for sautéing)
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 oz cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup beef broth or stock (low-sodium preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
  • 1 cup sour cream, full-fat or light
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • 12 oz wide egg noodles
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (to toss with noodles)
  • Salt (to season the water)

Instructions

  1. Slice the beef thinly against the grain into strips about 1/4 inch thick. Chop the onion finely, slice the mushrooms, and mince the garlic. Set aside.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add egg noodles and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and toss immediately with 2 tablespoons butter. Cover and keep warm.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef strips in a single layer and cook about 2 minutes per side until browned but not fully cooked. Remove beef and tent with foil.
  4. Lower heat to medium, add remaining oil or butter. Sauté onions until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook until browned and moisture evaporates, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to simmer, scraping browned bits from pan. Stir in Dijon mustard if using. Let sauce reduce slightly for about 3 minutes until thickened.
  6. Reduce heat to low, stir in sour cream until smooth. Return beef to pan and fold gently into sauce. Heat through 2-3 minutes without boiling to avoid curdling.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve beef stroganoff over buttery egg noodles and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan when searing beef to ensure proper browning. Add sour cream off the heat to prevent curdling. If sauce is too thick, add a splash of broth or water. For thicker sauce, simmer longer before adding sour cream. Use gluten-free noodles or spiralized vegetables for gluten-free option.
